An Understated Dominance by Marina Vittori Chapter 1143
Upon saying that, Caden firmly gripped Sheila’s wrist and pulled her away. “No! I won’t leave! Let go of
me!” Sheila began to struggle frantically.
She already owed Dustin once and wasn’t going to owe him a second time. If she did that, she wouldn’t
forgive herself for the rest of her life.
“Sheila! Your dad is right. Time is running out. Let’s go!”
“That’s right, Sheila! This is a matter of life and death; don’t be stubborn!”
“So what if Dustin dies? As long as we survive, his sacrifice for the Murrays will be the greatest honor
of his life!”
At that moment, Evan, Vivian, and the rest of the group also persuaded Sheila. It would be the greatest
advantage to have Dustin’s life exchanged for their safety.
“Go ahead and leave if you want. I’m staying!” Sheila refused to listen to their advice.
“You foolish girl!” Caden was furious and slapped her. He scolded, “You can’t afford to be stubborn right

“Take her away!” Sheila was stunned by the slap, feeling lost as she covered her cheek. Evan and
Vivian exchanged glances before grabbing Sheila’s arms. They dragged her away forcefully.
Meanwhile, on the desolate battlefield, both sides continued their deadly battle. Casualties quickly
mounted on both sides. Corpses littered the ground as the battle raged on fiercely.
“Step aside! None of you are a match for him! Let me handle this!” Seeing the kill team bravely
sacrificing themselves without fear, Dustin was moved. He then quickly stopped them.
The Murray family’s kill team consisted of divine-level martial artists. However, they were powerless
against a grandmaster like Antonio.
The close proximity of both sides had also prevented Dustin from unleashing his full strength. He didn’t
want to risk harming his allies. Thus, he directed the Murray family’s forces to step aside.
“You all, withdraw as well! I want to personally slaughter this brat!” Antonio waved his hand, and the
Kimbokuan assassins promptly retreated. Soon, the chaotic battle transformed into a one-on-one battle
between the two.
“Has Dustin lost his mind? He’s actually challenging Antonio to a one- on-one battle? Is he trying to get
himself killed even quicker?” Vivian glanced back, bewildered.
“Hmph! He’s severely overestimating himself! Antonio ranks among the top ten Sword Sages of
Kimboku, having achieved the pinnacle of his power.
“Dustin is digging his own grave by challenging him!” Evan shook his head, looking at Dustin as if he
were a complete fool.
“This brat is too foolish! Antonio was holding back earlier during the chaos since he might harm his own
men. But now that he’s free from those constraints, he’ll be stronger than ever.
“Dustin won’t withstand even a single blow!” Caden expressed his frustration.
Dustin could have held them back longer, but he just had to play the hero. Once he got killed, their
chances of escaping would greatly diminish.
“You damned bastard! You killed my grandson and ruined my plans. Today, I’m going to flay you alive!”

Antonio slowly drew his curved longsword from his waist. His eyes were ablaze with a murderous
intent. Even though his opponent was young, he wouldn’t hold back.
“Bourbon, you old scoundrel! You should never have come to Dragonmarsh and stirred up trouble. And
you definitely shouldn’t have run into me.
“Today, I will offer your head as a tribute to the fallen heroes of the Murray family!” Dustin spat out
coldly.
“You bloody bastard! Go to hell!”
Antonio roared in rage.
He lunged forward with a powerful step. Wielding his curved longsword high above him, he swung it
down toward Dustin’s head.
Before the blade could touch Dustin, its sharp edge had already cleaved the earth beneath, leaving a
deep gouge.
“It’s over… the kid is dead for sure.” The crowd shook their heads and sighed. Only a few people could
withstand Antonio’s unrestrained, full-powered strike in this world.
“Celestial Blade!” Dustin raised his arm, and a sharp whistle reverberated through the air.
Within the midst of the ruins, a black ancient sword suddenly streaked across the sky like a bolt of dark
lightning. With an unstoppable force, it pierced right through Antonio’s chest.
